This master file consists of the course portfolio of 15 undergraduate and 17 postgraduate entries with the subject combinations consolidated under their parent degrees where appropriate. Examples for undergraduate students are Biophysics, Computational Life Science, Computer Science, Human Medicine, IT Security, Medical Engineering Science, while new entries are Physiotherapy, Psychology, Robotics and Autonomous Systems . Postgraduate study Artificial Intelligence, Auditory Technology, Biomedical Engineering, Biophysics, Computational Life Science, Computer Science, Molecular Life Science, Psychology, Robotics and Autonomous Systems. Each course remains a parent qualification and specialisations are not incorrectly presented as separate qualifications but are retained within the course entry. This row highlights the major parent qualifications and keeps concentrations, subject combinations, teaching tracks and elective pathways within the proper degree, not as separate programs.
Admission Control at Program Level. Applicants apply through the route designated for their program, citizenship and qualification, including university portals and nationally coordinated processes where applicable. Different demands are set for medicine, therapy professions, limited bachelor programs, international credentials and master’s academic reviews. Applicants are advised to check the teaching language, the semester of entry, the subject prerequisites, the selection procedure and the route of documents before submitting an application. International School or University Qualifications External evaluation, certified translations, APS documentation where applicable or other proof of academic equivalence may be required. Master’s committees may ask for module descriptions, portfolios, writing samples, professional experience, or interviews. Entry to a doctorate is separate from the admission process for bachelor or master’s degrees and usually requires a viable research proposal, suitable supervision arrangements and formal approval by the relevant faculty.
There are no general tuition fees for regular degree studies. The semester contribution for the winter semester 2026/27 is €400.60 and includes €89 student services, €226.80 transport, €17 AStA, €5 sports, €2.80 theatre and €60 administration; new students additionally pay a one-time enrolment fee of €40. Institutional fees do not cover: accommodation, health insurance, food, study materials, residence procedures, project fees or personal travel. Special tuition may be applied in the case of continuing-education, distance-learning, joint, second-degree or long-term study formats, if provided for by the relevant law or program regulation. Funding may include BAföG for eligible students, the Deutschlandstipendium, DAAD and Erasmus+ mobility support, foundations, research employment or university-specific awards, but each funding application is assessed independently from admission.
Career preparation is a reflection of the subject mix of the university, not a guarantyd placement scheme. Internships, applied projects, research assistantships, employer events, language development, entrepreneurship services, international mobility and a thesis developed in cooperation with an external partner can all help to improve professional readiness.
